IA Regulations & Compliance Procedures 4

Question 1

An annual inspection was completed on June 10 of last year. Through what date is the aircraft's annual current under 14 CFR 91.409?

Accepted Answer

The last day of June this year

Answer

The annual is due within the preceding 12 calendar months, so it stays current through the end of the same month the following year.

Question 2

Which operation requires an aircraft to have a 100-hour inspection in addition to the annual?

Accepted Answer

Flight instruction for hire in an aircraft provided by the instructor

Answer

91.409(b) applies the 100-hour inspection to aircraft carrying persons for hire or used for flight instruction for hire when the aircraft is provided by the instructor.

Question 3

How many hours may an aircraft exceed its 100-hour inspection limit to reach a place where the inspection can be done?

Accepted Answer

Not more than 10 hours, deducted from the next inspection interval

Answer

91.409(b) allows a 10-hour overrun to reach the inspection location, and the excess is subtracted from the next interval.

Question 4

Can a completed annual inspection be accepted in place of a 100-hour inspection?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but a 100-hour inspection cannot be substituted for an annual

Answer

91.409(b) allows an annual to satisfy the 100-hour requirement, but not the reverse.

Question 5

Who may supervise or conduct a progressive inspection program under 14 CFR 91.409(d)?

Accepted Answer

A mechanic holding an IA, a certificated repair station, or the aircraft manufacturer

Answer

91.409(d) lists an IA holder, an appropriately rated repair station, or the manufacturer.
